'Entourage' gets psychedelic this fall

Wondering how the strike affected fake Hollywood? It’ll delay the debut of Entourage’s fifth season until September, and the HBO comedy may deliver 12 episodes instead of 14 — though creator Doug Ellin says he’s “writing as fast as I can” to reach 14. This season, which starts shooting in late April, will pick up with the fallout from Cannes, where Vince’s Medellin tanked. “The group dynamic is changing,” hints Ellin. “Eric [Kevin Connolly] is finding success on his own, grabbing other clients, and Vince [Adrian Grenier] is suddenly having a hard time.” The boys trek to Mexico and Joshua Tree National Park, where they’ll “eat some psychedelic mushrooms and try to find themselves. It’s one of my favorite episodes. It’s their Into the Wild trip.” With a happier ending, we presume.
